What is the pH of a buffer solution that is 0.211 M in hypochlorous acid (HClO) and 0.111 M in sodium hypochlorite? The Ka of hy
pochlorous acid is 3.8 ⋅ 10-8. What is the pH of a buffer solution that is 0.211 M in hypochlorous acid (HClO) and 0.111 M in sodium hypochlorite? The Ka of hypochlorous acid is 3.8 x 10-8. a. 7.7
The buffer solution is formed by a weak acid ( hypochlorous acid, HClO) and its conjugate base (hypochlorite ClO⁻, coming from sodium hypochlorite NaClO). We can calculate the pH using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.
